Infrastructure revenues for the third quarter increased 35 percent to $26.5 million.

Gross margin was 27.0 percent compared to 25.2 percent in the prior year’s third quarter. During the fiscal third quarter overall gross margins improved on higher international irrigation margins and on improved margins in diversified manufacturing which includes railroad signals and structures, commercial tubing and contract manufacturing.

Operating expenses increased $3.2 million to $18.4 million compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating expenses included higher personnel related costs, an incremental increase in expenses from the acquisitions of Digitec Inc., and WMC Technology Limited, and additional expenses for environmental monitoring and remediation as part of ongoing development and implementation of the EPA work plan at the Lindsay, Nebraska facility. Operating expenses were 12.0 percent of revenue compared to 15.2 percent of revenue in the prior fiscal year’s third quarter. Operating income was $23.1 million compared to $10.0 million in the same prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents of $100.6 million were $17.1 million higher compared with last year. Debt decreased $4.3 million over the same period and $7.7 million of cash was used in acquisitions completed in the past year. At May 31, 2011, accounts receivable and inventory balances were $36.5 million higher compared to the prior year due to increased business activity.

Lindsay’s backlog of unshipped orders at May 31, 2011 was $43.3 million compared with $64.3 million at February 28, 2011 and $33.9 million at May 31, 2010.

Total revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 were $362.8 million, a 34 percent increase from $271.2 million compared to the same prior year period. Total irrigation equipment revenues of $278.6 million increased 38 percent from a year ago, while infrastructure revenues increased 21 percent to $84.2 million. The Company’s operating income for the nine-month period was $46.8 million compared to $28.1 million during the same prior year period.

Outlook

Rick Parod, president and chief executive officer, commented, “Conditions in the global agriculture markets continued to be strong throughout the primary irrigation selling season. Agricultural commodity prices remain significantly higher compared to the previous year, creating favorable economic conditions for growers, worldwide.”

Parod continued, “Infrastructure operating margin increased in the quarter due to operational improvements implemented and leveraging expenses on a higher base revenue.”

Parod added, “For our business overall, the global, long-term drivers of water use efficiency, population growth, increasing importance of biofuels, and improvements in infrastructure safety and security remain positive.”
